UMIDIFY THE
I
NCUBATOR
The humidification pan must be filled with water in order for the incubator to achieve its stated
temperature uniformity specification.
Humidifying the chamber helps slow the drying of samples in open, “breathable” containers.
•
Always place and secure the copper token in the pan to slow the growth of microbiological
populations in humidification water supply.
•
Never use deionized water
to humidify the incubator.
•
The pan must be placed on the chamber floor.
o
The floor is heated and helps evaporation to raise the humidity level to 90 – 95%
relative humidity.
•
Regularly clean and disinfect the pan.
•
Refill as needed, and change the water in the pan at least once per week.
•
Use of chemical disinfectants added to the pan may alter the surface tension of the water.
This may significantly reduce the rate of evaporation and impact the humidity level of the
incubator chamber.
